That's an unusual workaround. Changing a task's state is definitely something that should be supported with the API, I think we could help if you let us know.

Anyway, can you elaborate on 'without success'? If you got an error message with a ref id we could use that to figure out what the issue was. If there's something wrong on our side we'd like to fix it. If it's something you need to fix I guess you & other developers would like to know.

That was not the original problem. Last december that Task was active and I needed to make it draft. Since then I marked the entire project including that task as complete so when I ran the same API call the state was now completed where as before it was active.

I did get errors trying to change Active to Draft and Draft to Active.

The issues you had in December were because of dropping the square brackets for ids on some messages and using 'draft' instead of 'Draft' in others (or both issues on the same message...). I did some digging in our logs and I couldn't find another issue.

Anyway, it looks like you got it working now, so no need to use that workaround.
